StoryTime iPhone app


Nursery Rhymes with StoryTime. http://www.rhymesapp.com/ It's a magical book. Play with Humpty Dumpty, Jack & Jill, Three Blind Mice and other classic nursery rhyme characters.

We've added a magical feature called StoryTime, which lets you read the book to a loved one from anywhere in the world.

"This is one of the most beautifully designed and interactive books in the App Store." - Chris Stevens, creator of Alice for the iPad and Alice in New York.

Elegantly hand-crafted by the seriously magical elves at ustwo and Atomic Antelope. We think you'll love it.

Manifesto hints






















“Each day for 30 days I will make a new object, installation or creative intervention while going about my daily life. At home, in the studio, on the train or wherever my day takes me, I will attempt to make something that interests me creatively and then quickly document it on the Variations on normal website via photographs, drawings or video. Each day I will receive a small budget of £10 for materials.
I believe that this self-imposed project with it’s constraints on time and money will force me to take an instinctive and experimental approach. The fear of failure and the usual time spent thinking through the potential pitfalls of a project will not be an option and I will need to react swiftly to my thoughts, observations and experimental outcomes discovered along the way. I am not focused solely on the final objects or images but on the creative journey I take. Complete failures are expected and embraced.” Domic Wilcox



Graphic Design isn't interesting.

Design is a joke.

Limits are possibilities.

Ideas are whores.

Apple. Apple.

Find faults not friends.

Eat with your eyes.

Never become a professional.

It's always better to be honest.

Value freedom not genius. craig oldham
